Chapter 33: Cedric's Apology
Cedric admits that he was impressed, and he was very impressed.
"Coach Lai En managed to convince me, and I admit that there is competition to be motivated. I don't know if I can do it in the end, but I will try my best to defeat Class VII led by Instructor Lien. ”
"It is my honor to be the opponent of His Highness, and I believe that the students of Class VII will also feel honored."
Li En was still smiling, but he was slightly relieved in his heart, and sure enough, this method worked. In the last battle with Cedric before returning to him, he finally revealed his heart - I, in fact, was jealous.
Jealous of Kurt, even more jealous of Lie.
The former is the unwillingness of his peers, and the latter is a complex emotion mixed with multiple emotions, because Lane has too many things he wants. Strong strength, reliable partners, heroic reputation, support and trust of countless people.
The most revered Prime Minister Osborne is Lane's biological father, or the reincarnation of the Lionheart Emperor Draquels, so even his status is compared to Lane.
This jealousy unconsciously erodes Cedric's heart, pushing him to constantly provoke Lane and prove that he is better than Lane in order to gain a sense of identity and satisfaction.
So, as long as you use this kind of thing to lure Cedric, you are not afraid that he will not take the bait.
Cedric laughed too. "Although this is the case, you can't hide it from me just because you are an opponent."
"Of course not." Li En shook his head, "Whether it is His Highness, Class VII, or other students, they are all students I value, and I will treat them equally." ”
"Personally, I still hope that Instructor Li En can give me more make-up lessons."
"Your Highness, it's not good to be too greedy."
"Click" - just as the atmosphere between Rien and Cedric eased, the door to the rooftop was pushed open.
Three students hurried up, one boy and two women, it was the trio of Class VII.
"Your Highness, Your Highness—"
Kurt was the fastest, but he was the first to stop, and he looked at Cedric in a bit of a daze.
"Ah, Kurt, long time no see." Cedric took the initiative to greet, "I haven't seen you for half a year, I'm so glad to see you." ”
"Hmm......" Kurt came back to his senses at this time, and obvious surprise appeared on his face, "Your Highness, is it really Your Highness?" ”
Cedric sighed, seemingly pleased with Kurt's expression now.
"After all, I've grown a lot taller, and I can't blame you for being so surprised, maybe I'm already taller than you."
"......" Kurt opened his mouth, but finally did not make a sound.
He didn't know how to reply.
The boy in front of him is undoubtedly Cedric, who grew up together, but he has changed too much to recognize.
Seeing such a Kurt, Cedric hesitated, quietly glanced at Lane, saw the latter smiling and nodding, and finally made a decision, no longer hesitated, took a few steps forward, and walked in front of Kurt.
"I was looking for a chance to see you, and now that you're here, I have something to tell you. Kurt, I'm honestly surprised that you chose to go to the second branch, I always thought you were going to be in the main school like me - I asked straight to the point, is it because of that? ”
Kurt wanted to say yes, but he couldn't say it frankly, and in the end he only squeezed out two words: "Your Highness......"
"Needless to say, I know the answer. I apologize to you, and to your father, uncle, brother, and other members of the Vander family. It is true that the government has taken the lead in relieving the Vanders, but I agree and say that.
The Fandel family has been protecting the royal family for more than two hundred and fifty years, and has always been dedicated to it. For as long as I can remember, the Fandel family has always taken good care of me, and I remember all these things.
There are actually many reasons for what happened half a year ago, some of which Prime Minister Osborne has already said, and some of which I am sorry for not being able to tell you for the time being.
I don't think the decision to dismiss me was wrong, but I would also like to admit that the way I handled it was wrong. I shouldn't have spoken so casually and publicly, I should have told you first, even if there was something I couldn't say, I should have told you everything I could say – even if you didn't accept it.
You guys...... It must be very sad. The damage caused by this incident is not only a denial of the long-standing duty and the Fandel family, but also a wound and betrayal of the deep friendship between the two families that have been formed since the beginning of Emperor Drakels.
So, I apologize, I apologize for the inappropriate handling of the situation, and I apologize for ignoring the feelings of the Fandels. If you resent me for it, I will not complain, and people have to pay for their mistakes, and I am the same.
But Kurt, I don't want you to give up on yourself and affect your own development. You are very good, I know this very well, I have always envied you in the past, people like you, even if you are not in the position of guardian, you will definitely be able to make a career, I am convinced of this. ”
Cedric's words were long, intermittent, and it was evident that he was thinking and carefully considering the words.
Kurt's mood also fluctuated with Cedric's words, several times he wanted to speak, several times he held back, and finally he thought about what to say, but Cedric raised his hand first and stopped him.
"Don't interrupt me just yet, let me finish my sentence. If you don't want to forgive me, then you have to take heart, because the next time I'm in class I will compete with class VII, it's a good opportunity for me to 'regret'.
If you're willing to forgive me, you have to cheer up, because I don't want my opponent to be unable to give it his all because of me. As I said earlier, I used to envy you, and I still am, to be able to learn from Instructor Lane and to focus on swordsmanship—I want to defeat you as well.
To be honest, at the beginning, I wanted you to transfer to the main school, but after being told by Instructor Lien, I felt that it would never be a bad thing to be in the second branch, and if it wasn't for the position of the royal family, I would like to transfer to the second branch.
So, Kurt, don't be overtaken by me so easily. Didn't you always say that you would protect me, and if I were to surpass me so easily, even if you didn't have that, you wouldn't be able to fulfill your duties. ”
"How could this kind of thing happen to him!"
Kurt blurted out that it was the sixteen years he had been striving for before his dismissal, a belief he had been instilled in since childhood.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he realized that something was wrong and hurriedly explained.
"It's not that I mean to deny His Highness, I am very clear about His Highness's efforts, but I ......"
"I understand." Cedric reached out and patted Kurt on the shoulder, "This is the Kurt I am familiar with, and I am relieved to see you now." ”
"Your Highness too." Kurt finally smiled, "Although it has changed a lot, sure enough, His Highness is still His Highness." ”
"yes, I almost forgot the most important thing, thanks to Instructor Lien." Cedric smiled. The two teenagers looked at each other and smiled, as they had done countless times before.
Although the atmosphere was immediately ruined because of Yuna's words: "Ahhhh ”
